I got this yesterday. Guy told me it came from a stock civic. I opened it up and it looked like it was chipped already. I have chipped several P28's before and this one looks different. BTW, it came from a 95. Here are some pics:

 

I have seen some "factory chipped" ecus. Looks like you got one of them. Read the chip and see what's different, for poops and hahas.

thats as everyone is saying a stock external rom ecu.
Havent seen a p28 with external rom though.
Read it when you get it out like drdisco69 sayd.

looks like it came out of a automatic trans civic... the three black pods in the upper left corner in your first pic.... a manual trans only has one..

Lol, the word you're looking for is "transistor". And yes, it is an auto. Not that it can't be 'cured' of that condition...

 

I already removed RP17

 

thats a po6 11fo board non vtec yes its automatic but you could convert that to vtec and its chipped!

Newsflash: it's got the v-atak parts on it...

 

I removed the E-prom (what whetever it is) and I think I damaged the board.
I lifted one of the wires on the board. Look closely`where I removed the 28 PIN chip.

Is this ECU any good?

 

Ouchy. It can probably be saved, lay that trace down, and check the rest with a multimeter to make sure they're ok.

 

Umm. WHat do i check for resistance? between which ones?

More info please.

Thanks,

 

Follow the trace from the pad to the component it leads to. Make sure there's continuity between those 2 points. If there is, you should be ok. If there's not, you can run a wire "manually" to repair it.

 

Thanks. Ill try that in a bit. if not, what size or kind of wire should I use?&gt;

 

Anything small will work, you see how big the traces on the board are. Smaller wire will be easier to get in place.

 

The trace finally snapped off. I will solder in a piece of wire and hopefully it will work.

Thanks for all the help

 

I cut up an extension cord and used one of the wires inside. I checked it with the multi meter an it had continuity. I hope this does it.

Thanks a Million.
